Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York congresswoman and former bartender, has suggested a series of special cocktail recipes for those working for change. The recipes, which include one named Hard Brexit – “a straight shot of bathtub gin, with no imported botanicals” – followed an online suggestion by journalist Anand Giridharadas, who recently said the 29-year-old congresswoman had in a month “changed America’s discourse about billionaires and the common good”. Ms Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, responded in style with six ideas, described as “cocktails for the revolution”.
